Nextgov, Atlantic Media’s site for IT and government technology news, has hired Mohana Ravindranath as a staff correspondent.
Ravindranath will focus on civilian agency technology and IT policy, with an eye toward Capitol Hill and congressional action as it relates to technology. She will also take a critical look at current and future federal IT initiatives, and eventually explore the next administration’s technology priorities and how they pan out.
Ravindranath comes to Atlantic Media from The Washington Post, where she covered small businesses, start-up financing, employment and information technology. She wrote the weekly “On I.T.” feature for the Post’s Monday print edition, daily blog entries for the Post’s website, and other stories for the Post and its local business magazine, Capital Business.
Ravindranath has also previously written about small business issues, start-ups and entrepreneurship, and city news for The Philadelphia Enquirer and Business Insider.
“Mohana is an exceptional journalist who has an already established presence in the tech community,” said Nextgov Executive Editor Camille Tuutti in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have her join Nextgov and believe her experience in covering IT, small business and contracting make her a great fit for our growing team.”
